Our forward line is not potent enough

    Delighted to see BB back in. Let's hope we can find him on the lead. If we can he'll convert.

    The best thing Brown will do is take one of Jonas or Alir to free up Tmac and Fritta.

    If Brown doesn't kick a goal, can we finally give Majak a chance as a genuine full forward?

    No.

    ...We've Ben waiting a while for a genuine goalscorer!

    Make it rain, Benny!!

    Of course, this will require better i50 delivery, which will also result in Fritter, TMac etc. being more effective.

    How is the inclusion for Melbourne. LML.

    I just can’t get over how every time a team welcomes back a gun player from long term injury it’s against us. Every. Single. Time.

    Inclusions are good, but it could be said that there is not a great deal of change - more 'same old, same old' in reality. The inspiration might well have come from the emergencies, the medi-sub and some positional realignments between backs and forwards who, down there, are relatively new to that confined environment. 

    Brown should lead his opponent down the brellow-yick road as often as possible and some young smart Rs Demon should rush in nearby to whence he came, and Fritta, TMac and Gawn/Jackson should offer leads, as well. They all need the goal-kicking practice, anyway.

    I want you Demons to freak out, all game, at 100kph with a mongrel attitude and presence. Hear?

    B. Brown coming in this week compared to last week makes literally no sense from a form perspective.

    Goodwin says because of the 5 day break he was on limited minutes, so that means by Saturday evening, after the GWS loss, he had decided Brown would play the following week and hence gave him limited minutes. 
     

    Sounds like Goodwin has made the decision based off how [censored] our forward line was on Saturday afternoon. He’s then pulled the trigger, and not even considered how well Brown’s latest VFL game went.

    So, why exactly didn’t he pick him for the Giants?

    Forward setup looks better. I wonder if we will be smart or skillful enough to use it properly?

    Very happy with this selection, feel sorry for Sparrow but head down and bum up Tom you will get further opportunities. We have been calling out for this change, so BBB don’t make asses of us.

    Go Dees .!!!!!!!!!

    Straightforward, top question, isn't it?

    People expecting loads of changes are kidding themselves. We are still 12-3. We are still second. You don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. We made a big structural change with Brown. That’s enough.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
